How depict our anguish at that moment
petiOts ? There we stood out casts i'll a
strange country without money and
with few scanty ratiOns thrown to us as
to dogs. The sun had now set and we
were in agony of despair.
"Our only hope rested in the meIcy of
a kind Providence and with eyes stream
ing with tears and hearts too full for
uttsrance weknelt down with one accord
to silently beseech the Lord of Hosts to
vouchsafe to us that pity and protection
with He accOrds to the most AFFECT Of
His creatures. Never was more heart
rending prayer waited to Gods throne and
when we arose, hope once more smiled
upon us irradiating our souls and dispel-
ling as by magic the darkness that had
settled on our hearts. We felt that none
but noble causes lead to martyrdOm and
we looked upon ourselves as martyrs to
our principles and convictions in saint
ly cause and with clear conscience and
trusting in God, we lay down to sleep
under the blue canopy Of heaven.
The dawn of day found us scattered
in groups discussing the course We
would pursue hereafter. Our hearts were
growing faint anew at the thought Of
the unknown trials that awaited us when
we spied two hOrsemen approaching our
camp. The incident simple as it was,
proved to be Of great importance to us
and our hearts fluttered with emotion.
We felt as if Providence had not fOrsaken
us and that the two hOrsemen were her
aids Of peace and joy, her messengers of
love in our sore affection.
You will see, petiOts, that we were not
mistaken. When the cavaliers alighted
they addressed US in the English language
but in tones so soft and SO kind that the
sound of the hated Language did not CRATE
on our ears, but seemed as sweet as those
Of our own tongue.
They bowed gracefully and introduced
themselves to us as Charles Smith and
Henry Brent.
We are informed > said they, that you
are exiles and have been cast upon our
shores, friendless and penniless. We
have come to greet you and to welcome
you to the hospitality of our roofs
These kind and noble words sunk deep
into our hearts and we wept with joy
and gratitude.
Rene Leblanc answered: Good sirs, YOU
behold wretched people bereft of their
homes, whose only crime is their love for
France and their devotion to the Catholic
religion and saying this, he raised his
hat and every man of our party did the
same. We are friendless end penniless,
he added, cast upon an unknown shore
and we thank you most heartily for your
greeting and your hospitality so gener-
Ously rendered See. we number almost
two hundred persons aud it would be
taxing your generosity too heavily. None
but king could accomplish your noble
design.

The Baltimore conference Of the A. NJ. r.
Church opened its fifth days session yes
terday morning at o'clock at the Metro.
politan A. NJ. e. Church. Rev. j. b.
Hamilton opened tho meeting with devo.
tional exercises.

connection, and then placed on the super
annuated list.

nection; John A. Banks, j. w. Layatt,
John Il. Wagner, G.. ID. Robinson, l.. j.
jackson, and L. s, Cassell.

vidlDg for meeting OF the electoral college
OF the conference at st. Johns Church, Bal
timore, on Sept ID, for the purpose OF
electing two lay delegates and two alter
mates to the general conference which meets
In indianapolis, May, 1888. The resolution
was adopted.
Rev. Dr. Watkins submitted the report OF
the committee on education. The report
said: IAN intelligent and educated ministry
is q spiritual necessity, aud on ignorant
ministry cannot In this enlightened age be
consistently tolerated." In closing the
report says: "Bofore closing our
report we would call the atteu.
tion OF the members Of the
conference TO the gross injustice practlced
upon the colored citizens OF Baltimore in
depriying them OF their rights In the public
schools. There has been constant agita.
tion for years in Baltimore relative to the
appointment Of colored teachers ia the
colored schools, wherever such teachers may
be found possessing the requisite qualifcd-
tlons, but apparently to no purpose, as our
rights in the direction indicated are com
pletely ignored"
Bishop Shorter said he did not think that
the report was proper one, as It was a
criticism on the lack OF education, and not
report Of what the conference was doing
In the way OF education.
The report was considered for some time
and further action postponed until o-day
Rev. w. Waters paid to the treasurer OF
the conference 5000 for the student fund.

HOW lie WAS STABBED.
No Provocation for tho Assault on Mr.
Forsberg.

Mr.. Gustave w. +. Forsberg, who was
dangerously stabbed by Geo. B. Matthews
Friday night, has at last given out the
cause Of the trouble. lie said that he did
not act as peacemaker, but simply sug-
gested going home. There were five men
in Heurich's, and Matthews, while intoxi-
Gated, did have a few words about nothing
with one of the party. He took off his
coat and began walking up and down the
room as he does sometimes when he loses
his head. 1t was not Forsberg, but another
man who induced Matthews to put on his
coat. Forsberg then suggested that all had
better go home. When the alley was
reached Forsberg stopped to talk to
friend. The others Of the party were about
two yards distant and as Forsberg thought
were starting for their homes. Matthews re.
turned and came to Forsberg and raised his
hand as he thought to slap him good natur.
edly on the shoulder. Instead OF the tap ex-
pected he received a stinging blow in the
breast, accompanied by the exclamation,
"There," or take that" followed by diz.
illness, which made him cry out that he was
cut. Forsberg states that he believes 1t was
Matthews's intention to kill him, and that
1t was not an accidental matter. He
thought that Matthews should be held
accountable for it for the public good, and
he proposed to prosecute him. An artist
friend told him that Matthews had threat
ened his life because he failed to recognize
him on the street not long ago. Ii the
police court yesterday Matthews was held
In $500 bail, and the case against him was
continued until the l1th instant.
